End of summer brings sidewalk sales to downtown Summit

SUMMIT - The “Dog Days of Summer Sidewalk Sale” has one more day to go, Saturday, Aug. 25. On Friday, shoppers found lots of bargains on the street, in the stores and in the two DeForest lots which have been repaved, reconfigured and restriped.

Parking Lot #1 was closed, the asphalt gone, waiting to be repaved and restriped. All three shopper’s lots will eventually be outfitted with gates and a pay machine.

An informal check with shoppers and parkers found a few people who had no idea it was coming next month and not a single person who was in favor of paid parking returning to Summit, but that’s still at least a week away.

To find more about the changes, visit the city’s website, where there is a fact sheet about the parking changes.

The sale is another event produced by Summit Downtown, Inc., a non-profit corporation dedicated to the development and improvement of the quality of life in the business community in the center of the city. The organization specifically focuses on the central business district of the city of Summit with a goal to harmonize the business and residential communities.
